The team, which will begin competition in the 2019 season, will be known as the Oakville Buzz. "It is my pleasure to report the unanimous vote bringing the Oakville Buzz Lacrosse Club into our league beginning in 2019," said OJALL Commissioner Dean McLeod. "This is a positive addition to Junior "A" lacrosse as the Oakville Minor Lacrosse Association continues, year after year, to produce some of the finest lacrosse players in all of Canada. On behalf of the Junior "A" Board of Governors, I extend a warm welcome to Sam Rook and the entire Buzz organization."

  • Canadian Men's Lacrosse and the NCAA 2009
    Canadian Men’s Lacrosse and the NCAA 2009 Prepared by J.P Donville Canadian Men’s Lacrosse and the NCAA 2009 Page | 1 Dedication At the heart of every great lacrosse club in Canada is someone like Brian Kruse. He’s the person that quietly puts in unbelievably long hours in support of lacrosse, and at one time or another holds virtually every role in the club organization including President, coach, registrar, and referee. And, he manages to do this, year in and year out, with a smile on his face. Brian Kruse, the driving force behind the Oakville Hawks Lacrosse Club and an important contributor to the Oakville Buzz Lacrosse Club and the Edge Lacrosse Club, lost his battle with cancer earlier this year. However, the mark that Brian has left on his community, his sport and thousands of kids, coaches and parents will go on forever. Like so many others, I assumed that Brian Kruse himself would go on forever – I never knew how sick he was until he was already gone. As such, I never had the chance to say thank you to Brian for all things that he had done for the Oakville Hawks and the sport of lacrosse generally. I therefore dedicate this inaugural edition of Canadian Men’s Lacrosse and the NCAA to Brian Kruse. Thank you so much for all that you have done to make our community and our sport a much better place. You will be missed but never forgotten. Introduction The Toronto Nationals Lacrosse Team was formed in part to help develop and support the growth of field lacrosse in Canada.

  • Dean-Mcleod-Lester-B-Pearson-Award
    ONTARIO LESTER B. LACROSSE PEARSON ASSOCIATION AWARD - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - DEAN MCLEOD NAMED AS 2021 LESTER B. PEARSON AWARD RECIPIENT TORONTO, ON – Lacrosse Canada has announced that Dean McLeod will be presented with the 2021 Lester B. Pearson Award. The Pearson Award is presented annually to members of the Canadian lacrosse community in recognition of their unselfish dedication and outstanding contributions of sportsmanship and distinguished leadership to the game of lacrosse and to the physical and mental development of young Canadians. McLeod’s devotion, work ethic, focus and sustained commitment to the Ontario Junior “A” Lacrosse League, and to lacrosse in his hometown of Brampton, have been exemplary. Born in Brampton, Ontario in 1945, Dean has been involved in lacrosse at virtually every position possible. However, in 1982, he took on the role for which he is most commonly identified when he became Commissioner of the Ontario Lacrosse Association Junior “A” League; a position he held for over three and a half decades. At the end of the 2018 Ontario Lacrosse season, he officially announced his retirement as commissioner, ending a 37-year continuous years of service to the league. When asked for his initial response to hearing that he was named the Pearson Award recipient, Mr. McLeod stated, “When Terry Rowland (Lacrosse Canada Director of Marketing) telephoned me and told me I had been selected the 2021 recipient of the Lester B. Pearson Award, and along with it comes Life Membership through Lacrosse Canada, I was completely dumbfounded! What an unsuspected honour to have my name now sit alongside all of the great past winners of this award.
